Bianco owner Edison Demiraj said: ““We opened two weeks before Christmas and we thought it might take a while to pick up, but we had loads of bookings,” said Edison. “Word of mouth travels fast here.
“I think people like that it’s a full sit-down experience and not another takeaway.”
Speaking about expanding the brand, which is named after a white lily, the national flower of Italy, Edison said: “After seeing how well the first Bianco was doing, I wanted to open another one in Sunderland but no suitable unit became available.
“Then I saw this unit and saw it had loads of potential. There’s also not another Italian restaurant in the immediate area, so I felt we could fill that gap.”
